2000 camaro with some small suspension upgrades, a question! so i just bought a pair of lower control arms, (for axle) and a pan-hard rod.
both non adjustable, and both polyurethane
my stock suspension parts have 270k miles.
my question
i quarter mile this car a lot, so i am hoping i can get some serious reduction in wheel hop, and .1 out of my 60', was i successful?

The LCAs' and panhard with poly bushings are a definite improvement over the OEM with rubber bushings.
LCA relocation brackets will help with attaining forward traction. Two types available,weld-in and bolt-in. I've been running bolt-ins for probably a decade without a problem.
OEM shocks are terrible,they can't control wheel hop,good aftermarket shocks will eliminate wheel hop. Others will post in as to brand & model.

The Koni shocks will be a fine choice, but don't rule out something like Viking Performance either for what you are looking to do with the car. We have had great success with the Viking shocks and ZERO quality or durability issues.
Polyurethane bushings will bind your suspension worse than the OEM rubber when it comes down to performance. The best joint for performance is a Teflon lined heim joint. No slop, no bind, easy to adjust.
LCA relocation brackets are a low cost mod that will do a lot of good to aid in stopping wheel hop. We strongly suggest the use of an adjustable LCA when doing a relocation bracket or the ride height of the car will be different than stock.
